Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Flowton: your questions answered
How much does sink repair cost in Flowton?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP8 postcode.
Do you cover Flowton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Flowton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Are there extra charges for Flowton?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Flowton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
